los angeles in the late summer and it was absolutely incredible. we follow the sunset for probably half of my night, maybe two and a half hours. there was some height out there. >> if you were traveling about 500, 600 miles per hour, you are able to keep up with it. >> you are able to on a plane. >> if did you want to seat longest possible sunset, get yourself up toward the north pole and south pole at the right time of year. the sun never really sets and it gets on the horizon there during what they call twilight. so can you catch the sun setting for 24 hours. how about that? that would be kind of crazy. >> very interesting. >> fascinating stuff. >> i understood it much more when tony stopped rotating. >> i appreciate it. ido too. thank you, david courtney. phaciating question.
